California firefighters battled wind-whipped wildfires that tore across the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, clogging roadways as tens of thousands fled and straining resources as the fires burned uncontained early Wednesday.

As the birthday of the King of Rock and Roll comes on January 8th, fans remember his music, skills, and the important role his family played in his life. His family shaped Elvis Presley’s journey to fame, and his deep connections with them were key parts of his story. Elvis Presley’s life was not just about music; it was also about love, loss, and the family that stood by him during his highs and lows. Elvis Presley experienced the loss of his twin brother IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR, Elvis Presley, 1963 Elvis Presley was born as a twin 35 minutes after his twin brother. But his brother, Jesse Garon Presley, was stillborn. Jesse was laid to rest in a shoebox wrapped with a red ribbon due to their family’s inability to afford a coffin. It is reported that the loss of his twin made Elvis feel a sense of loneliness that he carried with him. His friend and spiritual advisor, Larry Geller, revealed that Elvis thought about his twin a lot. Elvis often mentioned his brother in interviews. He always wondered why he survived and his brother didn’t, or what it’d have been like if his brother were alive. Even though Jesse was gone, his memory stayed with Elvis. The bond between them, though not physical, was something Elvis felt throughout his life. FUN IN ACAPULCO, Elvis Presley, 1963 Elvis Presley and Priscilla’s relationship Elvis’ personal life took another important turn when he met Priscilla Beaulieu in 1959. They married in 1967, and their relationship brought joy to Elvis during the pressures of his career. Despite the challenges, they stayed together and had a daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, in 1968. However, they divorced in 1973, but they continued to respect each other and share the responsibility of raising Lisa Marie Presley. KISSIN’ COUSINS, Elvis Presley, 1964 After his death, Lisa Marie Presley took on the responsibility of managing his estate, including Graceland and ensuring his legacy continued.  From the loss of his twin to his love for Priscilla and their daughter, his family played an important role in who he was. As fans remember him on his 90th posthumous birthday, they celebrate not just his music but also the relationships that defined his life.

Of all the unanswered questions in modern science, perhaps the most talked about is whether we are alone in the Universe. A new paper looks at another way we might be able to detect advanced civilisations and at its centre is the need for energy! The more advanced a civilisation becomes, the greater their need for energy and one of the most efficient ways, according to current theories, is to harness the energy from an actively feeding black hole. The paper suggests a civilisation feeding matter into a black hole could harvest energy from it, more excitingly perhaps, the process could be detectable within 17,000 light years!  The search for intelligent life beyond Earth has been of fascination to scientists, philosophers and even inspired artists over the centuries. With hundreds of millions of stars in our Galaxy and billions of other galaxies across the cosmos, it seems the odds are in our favour of finding some other civilisations out there.  Planets everywhere. So where are all the aliens? Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in recent decades adds to the excitement so, researchers have directed radio telescopes and space probes on the search for aliens. Projects like SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has been scanning the sky looking for unusual patterns or messages that could reveal an advanced civilisation but despite the effort, there is a distinct lack of success, yet. A different approach is to search for advanced civilisations based upon their energy signatures. It’s an innovative idea that seeks to identify civilisations based upon artificial patterns in the electromagnetic spectrum. We have certainly seen how human energy demand has increased as we have become more advanced and so theoretically any more advanced civilisations would need to harness energy on a scale far in excess of what we currently use. It may be that civilisations use giant megastructures like Dyson spheres to harness energy from stars and it’s the output from these or their impact on the light from a star that may be detectable.

It categorises advanced civilisations by measuring their technological advancement based upon the amount of energy they are capable of harnessing and using. They also propose an alternate scale based upon the Kardashev scale and the distance a civilisation is able to explore space, suggesting more advanced can explore further from host planet.  The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). Credit: C. Padilla, NRAO/AUI/NSF As a paper based purely on a theoretical model, they take the advanced civilisation’s category and explore the idea that they may use Dyson sphere’s around primordial black holes as an energy source. The team also propose observational techniques that may be employed to detect such structures using infrared and sub-millimetre signatures. They do assert however that telescopes like ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimetre/Sub-millimetre Array) is well placed to make observations and even to detect signatures and maybe even megastructures at distances of approximately 5.4 kiloparsecs (178 light years.)
